Yeah. He ought to have a TV show of some kind, or hire himself out to dictators in need of someone to tell the world that everything's fine and the enemies will be crushed. Apparently, even the new Iraqi governement considered him harmless and amusing, because unlike the rest of Saddam's gang who generally got the good old short drop and sudden stop treatment, this guy is now living in the UAE and never even spent time in prison except for a short stint in some brig after his initial capture :p

He gave an interview after the war, but the fire had gone out it seemed. Simple yes-or-no answers, no elaboration.

As I sit here on the toilet I wonder; might Libya try to join NATO at some point after this?

It probably could, to be honest. Turning the Mediterranean into a NATO lake would be in the alliance's interests, and Egypt/Libya have always been the traditional obstacles to doing so.

How would it be beneficial?

How would it not? You get one more person on your side of the table in the event of Bad Things, one of your major members doesn't have to worry about Sicily and Naples getting spontaneously shot up, and your southern flank will now be as secure as it can be made.

For Libya it is an effective means of assuring that the EU and the US have a vested interest in the prosperity and stability of their nation, as well as assurance against opportunistic or unstable neighbors who might want to export their problems; Chad comes to mind.

Doesn't an alliance also become more unstable once more countries are a part of it, as more parties might have opposing interests?
